dont want to much in the mouth and gently rub the area that has the infection on it .
do this 3 times a week until mouth rot is gone .

if infection gets worse and not better then a vet trip would be in order .

but the way i just explained is a method that anyone with some exp. in treatment of snakes can do ,and it wont cost you an arm and a leg .


its a proven method i know i have done it and it truly works .

Hope this helps :)

I am so worried...does it look like mouth rot to any of you? I'm new to pythons and I got mine in december. she just got over a bad case of worms and now this! I couldnt get hold of the vet because they closed at 5pm...I dont want to lose her.

you may need a second person to help i know my BP constrict my wrist every time i grab him by the head to check his mouth. natural reaction

that picture is wayyy to unfocused form e to even give you a definitive answer...

I just used some peroxide and I rubbed sligthly and a piece of flesh sort of came off...I think it's really mouth rot...im going to call monday morning for the closest appointement, it looks like its hurting her! it bled a little too!

another thing, she had a rat this week F/t, so she eats so does mean the mouth rot is not to advanced? im going to be taking the first available appointement, ill miss my classes, I cant lose her she is everything to me...anyone have any suggestions that can help me out for the weekend?

mouthrot is extremely painfull to the snake and if untreated can actually initate there whole face and such to rot.

a vet visit looks to be in order. she will be ok untill monday i prosume try to clean it once aday... she wont like it thats for sure. its not to advanced yet if she is eating.
